still the cast was generally so static the occasional appearance of an outside "day player" was always notable.

those are OS actors.

will any of the 91 actors be in attendance???

as we saw clearly exhibited with Depp Shadows "fans" are persnickety customers...

without Lynch most of them will not "accept" this revival. it's validity will be in question forever.

it's evocative of DS in it's "period" costuming...


somewhat historically accurate clothing with "contemporary" beauty trends. the hair and makeup is very "now". and certainly nothing like a "puritan" woman would have worn.

this is great news...

despite complaints about how 'old and unoriginal' the format is I'm all for the return of the big, hotel bound 3 day fest for the big 50th anniversary. 'cruises' and weird one day mini-events out at Lyndhurst are not my thing. and really how many more times are they going to be able to gather the cast for this type of thing???

I know it's too much to ask but how dreamy would it be for a certain ingenue to board a train out to Tarrytown for the anniversary of her debut (I won't be disappointed when it doesn't happen).

look forward to it!

the series is littered with the remains of half thought out, changed or completely abandoned plots...

the Portia Fitzsimmons character/plot was never really intended to "go anywhere".

it was a means to an end. it was just a setup for Sam to try and get his paintings back from Roger for the "show". I can't recall the exact turn of events but it ended up bringing to a conclusion (rather anticlimactically, I might add) the big "manslaughter" storyline than launched the series. Burke and Sam got a confession out of Roger and that was the end of it...


another hastily abandoned plot I can recall was in 1968 when Willie gave Maggie a pair of Josette's earrings that causes her to behave strangely, forget things, and was I think supposed to be a setup for reestablishing the Maggie/Josette "connection" after 1795. but after a few episodes it was dropped and never alluded to again.

I wasn't around when the 91 series was happening.

but today most fans seem to hold it in pretty high esteem given it's "seriousness".

I don't see that happening with the movie. it's like picking a scab even mentioning it.


I haven't attended the fest (or "cruise") type activities since it's release but from what I understand it's pretty much verboten.

the rage and hostility it still engenders almost 3 years later is astonishing...

simply post an image, or even a passing reference, on most of the boards and one can fully expect a nuclear meltdown complete with biblical language like "travesty" and "abomination" and fury about what a "mockery" it made of the material.

I've never seen such childishness.
